摘要
Economic policy advice is often dispensed based on a model of a unified, benevolent government. For some transition economies, this model is inappropriate and can lead to bad advice. The more appropriate model - that of a badly divided government - often leads to very different policy recommendations. We illustrate this point using the example of pre-privatization restructuring of state firms, and discuss its implications for foreign economic assistance.
